Strangers Ten Years Later

Tong Tong's birthday was held at home. She didn't go to kindergarten or elementary school. Yu Yan has been worrying about it recently. It is said that something went wrong, but Lin Jin asked for help, but she declined , just saying that he can't help.

So all the people who came to the party were adults, even though there were no one of the same age, Tong Tong was still very happy.

When Xu Fangzhi took out a box of chocolates, Tongtong's eyes lit up, and he screamed, rushing forward to kiss Xu Fangzhi.

Yu Yan on the side also screamed, but he took off his slippers and rushed up to beat someone up: "Xu Fangzhi, you know that she is changing her teeth and you gave her chocolate, do you want me to beat you to death!!!"

Xu Fangzhi put his arms around Tongtong and laughed straight: "Did you hear that, don't eat too much, or mom will beat your godfather to death."

Lin Jin sat on the side, with a smile involuntarily showing between his brows and eyes.

He didn't know anyone except Yu Yan and Xu Fangzhi, so he was a little cautious, until Yu Yan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Lin Jin, don't tell me that you also gave me something annoying."

"Probably not." Lin Jin said, taking out the gift he had prepared in advance.

It was a complete set of Disney princess costumes. When Lin Jin went to Disney before, he found that Tong Tong liked this princess very much. He originally wanted to buy it, but the queue time was too long, so he didn't buy it.

Afterwards, Lin Jin waited in line for two hours under the scorching sun to buy it.

Sure enough, Tongtong rushed forward as soon as he saw it, and said loudly in a childish voice: "Uncle Lin, I want to be your princess!"

"Okay." Lin Jin patted her little face lightly.

The little girl really looked like a little princess in the suit. A group of people took pictures of her for a long time before she had fun. After the shooting, Tong Tong carefully approached Lin Jin's ear and said softly: "I didn't lie Oh, Uncle Lin."

"En." Lin Jin nodded seriously.

The little girl then ran to another place to play with other toys.

Xu Fangzhi finally had the time to get close, and spread out his hands in front of Lin Jin, with a handful of melon seeds in his palm: "It tastes like caramel."

"You really like sweets." Lin Jin said.

"Yes," Xu Fangzhi nodded, "Eating sweets will make people feel better—after drinking half of the sugar that day, do you feel like sugar?"

Lin Jin pondered for a moment, but still said the truth: "It's a bit too sweet."

"Haha," Xu Fangzhi was not annoyed, instead he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I knew that you can't force a person who doesn't like candy to like candy. It doesn't matter, everyone has their own unique taste , I’ll buy you coffee next time.” After speaking, he added, “The bitterest kind.”

"En." Lin Jin nodded, "Thank you."

"Don't be so polite with me."

Yu Yan asked Xu Fangzhi to help in the kitchen, and Lin Jin knew that this person could cook, but Yu Yan sneaked out while Xu Fangzhi entered the kitchen to be lazy.

She sat down beside Lin Jin, ate a caramel-flavored melon seed, and frowned: "What kind of taste does Lao Xu..." After a pause, she glanced at Lin Jin with narrow eyes.

Lin Jin couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"How's it going, isn't it?"

"What?" Lin Jin didn't quite understand what she meant, "Caramel?"

"Pfft——" Yu Yan pushed him, "Are you stupid? Let me ask you how is Old Xu——Old Xu!"

At the end, he yelled loudly in Lin Jin's ear.

Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat at her sudden suddenness, and he was stunned before realizing what Yu Yan meant: "You..."

"Can't you see that I introduced you two on purpose?" Yu Yan said, "Old Xu, I have known him for many years, and he is very reliable. You and I have also been together for such a long time, and you are also reliable. So, to sum up, the two of you must be reliable together."

"..." Lin Jin was speechless and didn't speak for a long time.

Yu Yan yelled at him again: "Huh?"

"Yes...it's good," Lin Jin said, "but I don't want to fall in love right now."

Yu Yan looked at him frowningly: "Why?"

It was impossible for Mr. Lin Jin to talk nonsense about his emotional injury. After a long while of speechlessness, he said, "For the cause."

Yu Yan also choked speechlessly.

The two stared at each other for a while, before Yu Yan said, "As for Lao Xu, I'll just explain—"

"Whether you like it or not, don't let him down, and don't lie to him."

Lin Jin nodded seriously: "Okay."

The party ended after lunch, and Yu Yan was going to take Tongtong back to his grandparents' house in the afternoon. After dinner, Lin Jin and a few girls took on the task of washing the dishes.

A girl dressed very trendy, with a lip stud on her lip, came up to him and asked him, "Dude, is Old Xu chasing you?"

Lin Jin almost choked on his saliva: "..."

Lipstick smiled, and patted him on the shoulder kindly, and another girl followed closely and said, "Old Xu can cook, and when you're with him, it's like bringing a chef with you, a good man." ,To take advantage of!"

This sentence is not adulterated. Xu Fangzhi is really good at cooking, at least at the level of a chef, and according to Yu Yan, he is not only good at Chinese food, but also proficient in Western food.

Lin Jin just smiled.

After washing the dishes, Xu Fangzhi sent Lin Jin out, and the two took a walk in the community for a while to digest food. When they were about to part, Xu Fangzhi thought about it and said, "Don't take what Yu Yan said to you."

"Ok?"

"Your design is really good," Xu Fangzhi said, "I can't touch the sand in my eyes. If the draft of your design is not good, I won't use it for other reasons."

Only then did Lin Jin realize the meaning of Xu Fangzhi's words, and immediately felt amused, and couldn't help but look at him a little more teasingly, and said, "I didn't think about that."

"Yes, is that so?" Xu Fangzhi laughed dryly, and the usually calm person unexpectedly made some embarrassing gait, and he quickly adjusted it, "That's good——I really think you can help me out." This batch of hardcover rooms is ready."

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your trust." Lin Jin nodded at him.

Xu Fangzhi sighed, and suddenly asked, "Lin Jin, are we friends?"

"...Of course." Lin Jin was slightly stunned, "What's wrong?"

"Since we are friends, you still call me Mr. Xu, isn't it a little strange?"

Lin Jin cleared his throat, hesitated for a moment, looked at the other party's eyes obviously with teasing, and let go of the uneasiness in his heart, and tried to shout: "...Brother Xu?"

Xu Fangzhi looked shocked: "I remember you were born in January 91, and I was born in September."

Lin Jin: "..."

Xu Fangzhi smiled happily: "Call me Fangzhi."

Lin Jin paused, nodded, and called out naturally: "Fang Zhi."

Xu Fangzhi responded happily, and then called out: "Brother Lin."

Lin Jin: "..."

It's embarrassing.

In mid-September, Lin Jin officially began to take over the big order that Xu Fangzhi gave him. At the same time, because the work unit found that he was more useful, they began to entrust him with some light cases. Lin Jin was busy at both ends. Not sticking to the ground, getting up earlier than chickens and going to bed later than dogs every day, gradually even the psychological problems were suppressed, and I didn't need to take medicine much.

The house in Beijing was finally sold, with the full payment, Lin Jin instantly became a small rich man with a small amount of assets, but looking at the balance of the bank card was not pleasant at all.

Ke Zhun took the watch for himself very rudely, but he sent all the money from the sale of the furniture. After learning that his house was sold, he forced him to invite him to Shanghai for a visit. Lin Jin was naturally happy promise.

Ke Zhun came here on September [-]th. It was not too hot in Shanghai at this time, so Lin Jin went to the airport to pick him up.

Ke Zhun looked around and asked, "Are you alone?"

Lin Jin didn't understand what he meant: "Huh?"

"Where's Ye Ziyuan?" Ke Zhun blinked, "Don't tell me Ji Cheng broke up with him, he hasn't returned to Beijing, isn't he with you?"

"He didn't go back to Beijing?" Lin Jin was stunned, "Why didn't he go back to Beijing?"

Ten days had passed since the last meeting, Lin Jin thought that the man had given up completely and left.

After all, he had already spoken so harshly, Ye Ziyuan's temper was definitely unbearable.

"You don't know either?" Ke Zhun was even more surprised, "No, what's going on with you two?"

Lin Jin looked at Ke Zhun, and suddenly felt that he didn't know how to explain it. After a pause, he felt that it had nothing to do with Ye Ziyuan going there, so he shook his head and said, "I can't do it with him." .”

Ke Zhun opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

After a pause, he slapped Lin Jin on the back: "Come on, buddy buy you a drink—no, I'll treat you, you pay for it."

Lin Jin smiled lightly.

Ke Zhun only stayed here for three days, and after realizing that Lin Jin really didn't have much time to spend with him, he walked away in despair, and said that he would come to eat with him later when he was not busy.

Before leaving, Ke Zhun mentioned Lin Yi again and said, "He has always wanted your contact information. I told him that you are in Shanghai and let him find it by himself. Did he come to you?"

"No." Lin Jin shook his head.

"What's wrong with you two?" Ke Zhun asked curiously.

"It's not a holiday." Lin Jin thought for a while and said.

There were too many people besieging Lin Jin back then, Lin Yi was at best the one who stood by and watched - he happened to be at the scene and didn't have the courage to stop him.

Saying hate is absolutely out of the question, there is no good reason.

But if Lin Yi chased him, he would definitely not agree.

If Lin Jin had any worries about Lin Yi, it was probably that he was afraid that Lin Yi would tell Ji Cheng about the past—but he didn't know whether Lin Yi said it or not, whether Ji Cheng knew it or not And, still don't know at all.

Since the matter was not broken, he didn't say anything to anyone.

Lin Yi had witnessed his embarrassment, which Ye Ziyuan had never seen before, so Lin Jin naturally didn't want this person to hang around under his nose.

To be honest, back then he was only used as Lin Jin's revenge tool - he was used to drive a wedge between Ji Cheng and Ye Ziyuan.

But thinking about it now, Lin Jin only felt that he was stupid and unbearable at that time.

I feel a little guilty about him.

So when Lin Yi really came to him, Lin Jin sat down with him and had a peaceful talk.
